This site was built largely as a proof of concept- I wanted to make a site that could be navigated like a simple video game. However, I had a few requirements that kept me from just slapping everything into a canvas and faking it. 
I wanted text to be highlightable, external links to be clickable, and I wanted readable html so that anyone inspecting the source could see that it is in fact an html page. 
</p>
<p>Interestingly, I ended up essentially building a very primitive game engine that uses html as its scripting language. I can do things like define blocks and platforms by simply placing classes on them. I position them with html, and the javascript parses that
and knows what to do with each class type. </p>

This site was built using only javascript and html, no plugins or libraries.
